Batman Hoosier Cabinet

My wife loves to redecorate.I come home to a new house at least once a month. Well she doesn't redecorate the whole house every month but at least one room a month.

Yesterday it was my offices, a.k.a. The Batroom, turn.I now have a Batman Hoosier Cabinet added to my shelves to display some of my collection.

A Hoosier cabinet is a must antique to have here in Indiana.These were like a little kitchen when they were originally made.It has a place that holds flour, rolling pins, a potato drawer and a pull out counter top to do your kitchen work.

I don't have anything in the flour bin yet. (You can see the flour dispenser on the left)I do have a Batman brass knuckle bladed thingy that my son bought me hanging on the rolling pin holder.It reminds me of a weapon that Batman used in the fan made film Dead End.

Not only is Hoosier Cabinet holding a portion of my Batman collection but my wife also is using it to display some of my View Master stuff and slides that I use at WMDS.

Hey No problem. The only work I did on these was set up artwork for screen printing on the item and production art on the "canned" hangtag.

I have a large one (about 22", no hangtag) and a small one (about 15" with hangtag and sample tag), plus I have a couple of generic teddy bears, one wearing a Batman T-shirt the other with Robin's, I might be able to come up with some more stuff, I have to go dig through the sample boxes in the warehouse...

Let me know if you want me to send them to one address and you guys divide it up or if you want me to divide it up and send it to each. I should have a contact link in one of the Spockcation posts for an email address.

Welcome, Citizens!
